Do you have a screw loose?

Happy happy winter!
Cold temperatures and dramatic temp changes will tend to advance the loosening of screws.

Chrome Hearts Trunk Show Saturday December 4th 2010


Restocked on Chrome Hearts "Bait", "The Beast" and more!
Phew- that was a close one.
It is my firm belief that these sunglasses are the best fitting, most beautiful, flattering and fabulous in the world. Most of these styles come with Zeiss polarized sunglass lenses as well, so they really are the best of both worlds. So between the best in the world AND the best of both worlds- what more can I say?

The colorful and imaginative frames by L. A. Eyeworks are perfectly evocative of classics while remaining fresh and modern. These are the types of designs that prompt fun stories about your uncle Roger, or your cousin Suzy! Fun frame favorites with a twist!

Speaking of Bespoke and Tom Davies


I just finished ordering a bespoke frame. It thrills me every time I do this, as it is truly custom eyewear, and it is so much fun to design frames! In this case I designed a frame changing the colors to more perfectly suit my client, but fit issues can be a thing of the past with Tom Davies Bespoke. We have created some really beautiful acetate and metal combinations like orange hinges with tortoise, and blue hinges with cream colored acetate...endless possibilities exist.
Here's a lovely shot of Angelina Jolie wearing sunglasses designed for her (film character) by Tom Davies.

Spring color and new frames!


I joke that each spring fashion magazines announce to the world that 'color is fresh!' but they do. Every. Year. It's radical, its even crazy but wear some color!!! COLOR is the hottest new thing!!! I am so happy that it is spring again and that color is the hottest new thing again. This seems especially true in eyewear right now, no holds barred color is out there and so much fun to try on and look at.

We are gearing up to welcome the cool chicks from LA Eyeworks to the shop Saturday March 27th from 10-4.

LA Eyeworks is all about unpredictable and sometimes delightfully insane colors and big bold shapes as well as classics and sentimental favorite staples in eyewear. I can't wait to dig in and start playing with frames!

The most wonderful thing about Etnia Barcelona eyewear is the variety of colors and patterns. Does this frame come in turquoise? Yes! Orange? Yes! Red, Fuscia, Emerald green, Lime green, Pink, Blue, Violet, Lavendar, Yellow.........YES !!!!!!!!!!
We love the patterns- stripes, checkerboard, crisscrosses. These frames are so much fun to try on, and tend to strike a positive chord with those wanting something unique.
We look forward to the Event this Sat Feb. 6 9am-5pm.
Join Us!
